ACTRIS, CHARMEX and Research Infrastructures:


Some pictures of the good old time in the Mediterranean







Po Valley 1992 and 1994




But where are the data from these important campaigns ?





And for Po Valley Experiments ???



• Information from the 80s is almost totally lost – too bad

• We have lost the 90s as well – too bad

• Deriving trends for aerosol species requires >10yr continuous data – too bad

CHARMEX AND ACTRIS Summer 2013

• Increased sampling rates

• Some calibrated Instruments

• Trans-national Access (Finokalia)

• Joint operations with EMEP SOP and PEGASOS SOP

• Procedures ? • Data Management ? • QA/QC ?


ACTRIS-2 at a Glance


• INFRAIA 2015-2016 (3 topics funded/9)

• 31 Partners (including many CHARMEX/MED partners)

• VA1, TNA4, TNA1-3 = 40% requested budget

• TNA opened at CYP, FKL, MTC, CIAO, MSY, GRA

• Training sessions mainly opened to external users

In a wider context : a Long Road towards ACTRIS RI

Next Frontier: integrating MERMEX HYMEX, CHARMEX…


How are you going to deal with that in MISTRALS/MED ?

Next Frontier: integrating MERMEX HYMEX, CHARMEX…


• Need a new approach for managing different data types

• Need to address semantic issues and different timescale

• Need to train people with proper multi-disciplinary expertise

• Etc..

1) Sharing technologies and standards

2) Sharing information technologies

3) Develop harmonized policies for access;

4) Investigate the interactions between RIs and society:

5) Ensure the cross-fertilisation and knowledge transfer

6) Create RI cooperation framework
